COVID-19 Vaccine

COVID-19 Vaccine Information

Published May 12, 2022

Current Eligibility

The COVID-19 vaccination is now available to anyone 5 years and older at any Choctaw Nation Clinic.

  • Pediatric patients (5-11 years old) can receive the pediatric Pfizer vaccine.
  • Adolescent patients (12-17 years old) can receive the Pfizer vaccine.
  • Adults (18+ years old) can receive any available vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson; brands vary by clinic)

Health officials highly recommend everyone eligible get the COVID-19 vaccine. You can also get your flu vaccine at the same time.

Choctaw Nation encourages everyone to get the Bivalent COVID-19 vaccine. This blended vaccination protects patients from both the original COVID-19 strain and the new Omicron BA.4/BA.5 variants. Patients can receive the vaccine two months after their primary vaccination or booster dose of any monovalent (original formula) COVID-19 vaccine.

Eligible individuals may receive a different vaccine than initially received. CDC’s recommendations now allow for the “mix and match” dosing for booster shots.

Appointments are encouraged and will be limited daily per clinic. Please contact your physician with any questions.
